Net sales of gas increased by RUB 136,509 million, or 8%, to RUB 1,755,271 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the same period of the prior year.

This was mainly driven by the increase in volumes of gas sold by 36%, or 29.0 bcm, which was partially compensated by the decrease in average Russian Ruble prices (including excise tax and customs duties) by 18%.

The change was due to the decrease in volumes of gas sold by 22%, or 4.5 bcm, and the decrease in average Russian Ruble prices (including customs duties) by 9%.
